My Review:
A book unlike any other that Stephen B. King has ever written. The psychological drama is first rate. This book plays in your mind and expands the corners of the readers' mind.
The intensity of this novel is matched only by the originality of its concept. Sure, you all have heard of the stalker sort and the madman but this book takes it in a direction you would never expect.
You become one with the characters. Their feelings become your feelings. It is such a powerfully written book that once you start, you won't be able to start. Edge of seat and edge of your heart. A book unlike any I have ever read. I have read literally thousands. Check this one out and get a 'glimpse' of the great writing by the other Stephen King - This one with a B middle initial!

Author Biography:
I was born in the UK, what seems like an epoch ago, and moved to Australia at age 16. I was a long-haired rock guitarist and poet/songwriter before real life got in the way, and I gave it all up for love.
I've always felt I had tales to tell. I won short story competitions and wrote poetry in my wilder, younger days, but always wanted to write novels. I've now published nineteen books. While some are Police procedural and psychological thrillers, mainly focusing on Serial killers, all my stories have a love theme running through them.
I believe love and family are everything. Anything else you gain in life is a bonus.
I live in Perth, Western Australia, and am fiercely patriotic. My wife is amazing in that she not only puts up with living with a writer but encourages it. I've been blessed with five children, and I adore them all.
